Shrink the alien invader

    by: Billis Author IconMail Icon
The two combatants are fast, the woman firing her futuristic rifle at the alien. A near blinding beam of light lashed out from the soldier's weapon, but the alien leapt aside. The beam of light carried on to bury itself in the opposite wall of the warehouse.

The grolxie was taking the chance to level its bizzare weapon at the soldier before she could fire again, but it hadn't figured on you.

As you aimed and activated the size ray its own beam, much less dramatic than that from the soldier's weapon, shot out and struck the alien in the chest. You watched as the hulking figure quickly dwindled in size, all the way down from twice the size of human to just over a foot tall.

"What the- What did you just do?" The soldier asked, looking back at you. You couldn't see her expression due to her helmet, but her confusion was evident in her tone.

You hesitated a moment, trying to think of what to tell her. As you did so, you saw a scuttling motion as the shrunken grolxie was trying to back away from you and the other human. The soldier almost casually shifted her stance, one armored boot moving to pin the groxlie to the ground. At its size, her armor's weight could easily have crushed the alien, but the soldier was careful just to pin it in place for now.

The power armored woman looked down to the alien trapped beneath her foot, and then back at you. "Well, start talking, it's not safe to just stay here."
